9 Marvel And DC Supervillains And Anti-Heroes Who Deserve Their Own Movies

6) Nighthawk

Never heard of Nighthawk? A few years ago the relative obscurity of the character would have prevented him from getting a movie, but nowadays, Marvel have got to a point where they can take comic book properties as C-list as the Guardians of the Galaxy and make them a hit. A perfect next contender for the Cinderella treatment then is Kyle Richmond’s anti-hero alter ego.

Initially a supervillain, Nighthawk attempts to change his spots and go straight. More so than most, though, he has a tough time of it. For a period, Kyle was paralyzed but, thanks to his alchemical powers, gained the ability to walk at night. This is probably the angle Marvel could take in a movie about the character, seeing as we need more disabled heroes around. Another story arc also saw him gain the intriguing power of seeing visions of criminal acts before they occur – which could be really interesting to see explored on screen.

Nighthawk is tied in with the Squadron Supreme team in the comics as well, so his movie could easily set up a flick for this multiversal bunch of heroes. If for some reason the film division don’t want him though, then at least give him to Netflix.
